Thanks to Koen I discovered I was doing everything for everyone around me, and was ignoring my own needs. It drained me. I am now leading a much more balanced life full of energy

I've learned to let go and not try to control everything. People around me now feel empowered in stead of controlled. Thank you, Koen!

Trying to be of help to refugees, I worked 60-hour workweeks. I learned the importance of work-life balance and keeping myself sane. After my burnout, I am now myself, and I love life again.
